Gubernatorial candidate Steve Beshear links to a story on his campaign website bemoaning the fact that Kentucky isn't as "energy efficient" as more progressive states like Vermont, Connecticut, and California.
What he fails to mention is that these three paragons of efficiency have electricity prices two to three times higher than we do here in Kentucky.
We can try to mandate energy conservation if we want to, but the only way to make a real impact on usage is to raise prices. How much of an energy tax does Beshear want to impose on us?
Remember, this is the guy who is going to ram casinos down our throats no matter what the General Assembly says.
Please explain yourself, Mr. Beshear.
